Ohio 195 Repair Project Contract Bids

LIMA (May 20, 2010) – Bluffton Paving is the apparent low bidder for a contract that will repair Ohio 195 in the McGuffey area between Ohio 309 and Ohio 235 which has been closed since September, said Leonard E. Brown, Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director.

Work on the project is not expected to begin for at least a month until the project is officially awarded.

The apparent low bid is $1.926 million.

The route was closed in September when the pavement became significantly unstable as a result of slippage of the embankment along the Scioto River. It is the sixth time since 1995 that a major failure has occurred on the roadway.
